Pellechet, No. 2918 (first two parts only). ONLY ONE OTHER COPY RECORDED, 
THAT BEING IN THE BIBLIOTHEQUE NATIONALE, Paris. BEAUTIFUL COPY, IN 
WONDERFULLY FINE CONDITION, WITH AN ORIGINAL BLANK LEAF AT BEGIN- 
NING AND LEAF OF REGISTER, WHICH ARE LACKING IN THE BIBLIOTHEQUE 
NATIONALE copy. The first blank leaf has some writing and stains, but 
otherwise the volume is almost as clean and fresh as new. WupE MarcINs, 
leaves measuring 5 5/16 x 3% inches. There are four leaves in manuscript 
in signature L, which appear to be part of the original volume, having the 
same manuscript foliation continuous with that on the printed leaves. The 
printed leaves for this section may have been lost in assembling or acci- 
dentally left blank. 

This copy agrees with Pellechet’s collation of the first two parts (which are 
complete in themselves without the third and fourth parts), with the fol- 
lowing variations,—First signature (unmarked) has eight leaves instead of 
six, first blank and present, Calendar on second to seventh, Register on 
eighth, followed by the Psalter, then the Breviary, thus making the colla- 
tion,—Signatures [*] in eight, AA to EE in twelves, FF in eight, A to O 
in twelves, P in eight, total 252 leaves instead of 250 for this section, as 
given by Pellechet. There are also some slight variations in the abbrevia- 
tions used in the text, but the lining-off is the same. There is no printer’s 
colophon at the end of any of the various sections of text, the complete 
volume ending on leaf 418, according to Pellechet, actually leaf 420, with 
the words,—“Per Christum dominum nostrum, R | Amen.” 

The binder has lettered the back,—“Compendium Breviarii | 1461 [!] Imp. 
in Membranis [!] |. Pellechet’s placing it as printed in Venice about 1480 
is probably correct, and it is a BEAUTIFUL SPECIMEN OF EARLY VENETIAN 
PRINTING, AND ONE OF THE EARLIEST BOOKS PRINTED IN OCTAVO IN SMALL 
type, With the Lord Leigh bookplate.

ONLY ONE COPY OF THIS WORK IS RECORDED IN AMERICA, that being in the

De Tortis printed two editions of Sicero’s Officiorum in Venice, in 1481 and 
1482, the original work including other books by Cicero, with the Colophon 
at the end of the entire volume. The Officiorum is complete in itself but 
has no separate Colophon. Hain did not know a perfect copy of this 1482 
edition and gives the collation of the Officiorum of that date as a last part 
of the 1481 edition.

marginal and interlinear interesting notes by a contemporary 


German scholarly hand. 
[ Leipzig: Martin Landsberg, c. 1495-96. ] 


This edition is apparently unknown, as it does not appear to be described 
by any bibliographer: it seems to be a reprint of Hain 5234 (Cat. of Inc. 
in the Brit. Mus., III, p. 639) issued from the same press about 1493 or 
1494. Landberg device is here in state (b), which superseded state (a) in 
1495-96. Bound at the beginning of the volume are the following interest- 
ing pieces, also with numerous interesting annotations, evidently written 
by the same hand which engrossed the “Officia”: Epistola amatoria quam 
Sapho puella ad absentem mittit Phaonem (6 leaves); Hanc epistolam

characters, on 98 leaves. Miniatures, initials and borders in 
gold and colors. 8vo, handsomely bound in crushed dark red 
levant morocco, back and sides richly inlaid in a pleasing 
Grolieresque design, with moroccos of various colors, title with-

A MOST PLEASING MANUSCRIPT Of French execution in the latter part of 
the Fifteenth Century. The Miniatures, 13 in number, are most beautifully

throughout the volume are in gold, on a red or blue background, and the 
spaces at the ends of sentences have been filled in with similar backgrounds, 
on which have been painted in gold, minute and delicate designs. On every 
page, a border of about one-inch in width extends the length of the manu- 


script, and consists of floral and leaf sprays, ornamented with scrolls of 
various colors, and heightened with gold.

of the period and as a source of original and contemporary historical data, 
it is perhaps, not to be equalled. An official journal, published every day

Included in this set, are the numbers from years VII and VIII of the 
French Republic (1798- 1800) which owing to the unsettled condition of 
affairs at the time, were published in few numbers and are now very scarce. 
Accompanying the above is an A. L,. s. to a Mr. Ward from Adolph 
Maillard (Secretary to Prince Napoleon) in which he says: “Dear Charlie, 
This copy of the Moniteur Universel formerly belonged to Joseph Bona- 
parte, King of Naples and afterwards of Spain, etc. A Maillard, New

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS 


“It would be nice to be able to say something lasting and impressive about 


the Quinn Catalogues, but nothing that might be said—this side of hyper- 


bole—will be as impressive as these catalogues themselves. They areunique 


and challenging, and they have set a new standard of excellence.” 


The New York Herald i oo 
“Whoever catalogued the China Library certainly surpassed himself: we i ay 


have never seen so fine a job of bibliographic annotation.’ 


Christopher Morley in The New York Evening Post : ie 


“Whoever wrote the introductions, made a catalogue that will be some- er iu 
thing to be treasured in the library of a book-lover. The faultless pontine Ae: 


and format would attract, apart from the interest of the items offered. . 
The catalogue was the finest ever issued by an auction house.” _ 
Boston ‘Evening T- vanscript 


“No more remarkable library of first editions of modern authors has ey eb 


| be 


ing details and points of view to be found nowhere else... ... One 


been formed than that of Mr. John Quinn. The catalogue, when completed, 


will form a very valuable and permanent book of reference. The brief 


biographical details are unconventional and always interesting, often furnish- 


might go on quoting columns from these terse and often epigrammatic 
biographies.”
